Wetherby Eye Clinic

What does this mean?

Many patients with a range of eye conditions have the option of visiting our specialist NHS clinic – a consultant led ophthalmology service within the practice – rather than being referred to a hospital eye department.

Referrals are accepted from GPs, optometry practices and other eye clinics, for adult (18+) patients with non-urgent eye and vision problems that require an ophthalmology service.

With our two specialist optometrists Paul Appleson and Ann Barrett, both of whom are registered specialists in glaucoma and therapeutics, Independent Prescribers and also employees of the hospital trust, you can be assured that you are in safe, experienced and caring hands.

The new clinic is a unique partnership and is the only one of its kind in the region. It compliments our regular optometry and optical service.

We work closely with the Hospital Trust as well as the GPs, optometrists and other hospital eye clinics to allow smooth referrals, and provide information and feedback. We are proud to provide a much needed, high quality, local community service for all patients.
